internal conversation - day 15
“You’re doing it again!”
“I know. Just shut up, okay?”
“You said you would stop.”
“Yeah? Well I changed my mind. I like this way better.”
“You and I both know this is how people commit suicide.”
“Not gonna’ commit suicide”
“Hmph! That’s what you said about this, and now look where we are.”
“So?”
“You’re cutting yourself Lia! Almost every day you’ve been cutting!”
“So what! It helps.”
“No it doesn’t! For god’s sakes, you have friends! Talk to one of them about it!&rdq
What is in the closet?
Hidden behind locked doors.
What is in the darkness?
Of the rotten bone filled floor
There are skeletons shoved in boxes,
And secrets beneath the boards.
There are skeletons in the closet,
Dare you touch the door?
I will never be a princess.
But i can always play pretend.
I will never find Prince Charming,
But the frogs will be my friend.
I will never be a brave heart.
But i can still try anyway.
I will never fit the tiny slipper,
But my shoe's still pretty small.
I will never be a sleeping beauty,
But i know i can always snore.
I will never be the perfect princess...
But that doesn't mean, i cannot be one at heart.
Long ago, before the times of peace and war
Before our tale had yet become lore
the oceans served for many a home,
just as the land is yours.
And from it's waters came the one,
The fairy of the sea.
a naiad they called an enchantress,
More powerful that you or me
She was a creature of myth and dream
This sorceress and mighty queen.
Morgan le fay, was one of her names.
And She, was King Arthur's queen.
Through dark and smoke we shall arise,
In light we are standing stronger.
Thunder and lightning shall roar and flare
When darkness and light meet at last
The battle ensuing can never be won
Without balance the world will be dead.
In dark and smoke our king shall arise
Through light the queen grows stronger.
Two sides,
Silver and iron
Protection and strength
Light and dark.
Can balance never be wrought?
Remember your mortality,
My dearest child true
Your life is such a fragile thing,
It’s not a toy for you.
You think yourself invincible.
I know, I’ve been there too.
You think yourself bulletproof,
My friend, that’s far from true.
You’re bound to die sometime.
It’s only a question of when.
Eventually you’ll lose your mind.
After that, youre good as dead.
Memento Mori
As the sun is sinking,
Beyond the scarlet trees
I hear a mournful cry,
Death does call to me.
As the sky is melting,
Fading into pink
I am told by Mortality,
"Now is time to leave."
In the place of silent ruins,
Shattered hope is all we know.
Beauty scattered like shards of glass,
And endless broken souls.
Here in the places of shadow and secret,
Where cities are built from death and bone
People are buried in unhallowed hallways,
Wide awake, and trapped within the stone.
Here in this place of silent ruins…..
Shattered hope is al we know.
